So Jigalode has been participating in the Friendly Flamingo Tournament since 2014. Back then, and every year since then, we have been designing the annual tournament shirt. Well, this year, our friend, Luke Krenik has taken the reigns on running the event and we've jumped on board to take on a bigger role and help him cohost.

It was really important for us to stay true to the format of the FFT. So the rules haven't changed. It's a 1-Day, Catch/Photo/Release tournament with teams competing for most combined inches in Tarpon, Snook, Redfish, and Trout. Only your biggest fish from each of those species will be scored.

So what's changed? Let's start with our Kickoff Party. This year we've decided to move it from the usual Tradewinds Bar & Grill in Downtown, to Lincoln's Beard Brewing Company. A little more central for everyone, with a fun atmosphere to get you in tournament mode.
